Sure they will. The deep state is chronically disunited. We have been through this many times in history. With the normal processes of the Republic (elections, due process, etcetera dead) there is no means of resolving conflicts within the elite, which will turn increasingly violent. Eventually one man will seize total power - either a rightist, like Sulla, or a leftist like Napoleon or Stalin. Right now we have Soros and Trump looking for the job, but chaos may well continue for a long time, with no end of increasingly rapid and drastic changes. Whoever it is will punish them - if a leftist, the Revolution devours its children, if a Sulla, will crush them because left. Either way whoever becomes dictator will kick down the ladder by which he became dictator. I could visit many times in history where what is happening now has happened before. It usually ends with most of the guilty dead, albeit an awful lot of the innocent also dead. The process usually takes decades. Was refreshingly quick in Rome the first time around, but took a horribly long time in Rome the second time around.
